Tara Brabazon podcast

Anne, Tara and Steve present some alternative modelling for Guy Standing's Precariat and Terry Johnson's theorization of professionalism.

Steve and Tara summon the interconnected injustices of Hillsborough and Grenfell. Finally, charges have been made against South Yorkshire Police - 28 years after the event. But what do we learn about working class people, working class culture and injustice? Tara and Steve probe the lessons of Hillsborough to understand the events in Grenfell.

Steve and Tara talk Theory. What is it - and why is it useful for researchers? In anti-intellectual times, is it the moment to bring back Theory (Capital T)?
